Deep Analysis
The quick ratio of 0.18x means TGT holds $0.18 in highly liquid assets—cash, marketable securities, and receivables—for every $1 of current liabilities due within a year.
This is well below the sector median of 0.72x, placing TGT in the 7th percentile among sector peers, indicating unusually low short-term liquidity. Trend data are unavailable: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and no historical values beyond the current 0.18x are provided. The combination of a very low level with no observable trend leaves the risk of a liquidity shortfall present, but without evidence of worsening or improving, the forward direction is uncertain. This level alone suggests elevated vulnerability to near-term obligations, yet the missing trend prevents any escalation of that concern. The metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: it flags a risk but, given no trend context, does not justify moving to a bearish stance.
